Release dates for the UK - Page 137  

Aaw, thanks Lou. Although I always thought Anita was an old lady name, no? The only other Anitas I've come across in the UK were over 60.

Ah yes, it's even better with the raisins! It's always to find out about each other's backgrounds as well! Is Anitacska your real name or a sweet way of saying it?

Lou, it is really really good, try it! It's quite filling as well!

It means "little Anita", my Mum used to call me that when I was little. My real name is just Anita.

Did anyone do that Groupon deal for Asos? I'm still waiting for the code to come and I'm hoping to get my first Nars blush with it. I've never shopped at Asos before (hello? how expensive) so i'm crossing my fingers they will still be around in the morning.

No, I had a £5 off £20 code and used that the day before I learnt about the Groupon deal. Hohum.

i got the groupon deal, although asos's stock of nars is so poor at the moment. i believe they only have taos blush! so i'm going to hold out and use it for the new illamasqua collex or nars if they get more stock in.

I think the voucher's only valid for a month though :( I bought it but am kinda scared as I've never bought anything off Groupon before!

I Ordered my first Nars product today!!! I got Penny Lane. I'm hoping that I like it as swatches online vary so badly. I have no idea if we even have a nars counter anywhere in the North-East.

that's my favourite nars product, awesome pick!

i picked it up at duty free a few weeks ago & initially wasn't that impressed when i swatched it, but when you put it on it's lovely - really natural & buildable. it's my go to everyday blush now - all my others have been abandoned in favour of it & i nearly backed it up with my asos code! the texture of nars cream blushes is also amazing :) i'm still tempted to back it up actually... i picked up enchanted, which i'm quite excited to try despite the reports of it being mega-glittery.

Glad its a good buy. I saw a blog post by Lollipop26 and she had that and Well Dressed on and it looked a gorgeous combo. I can't wait to try that out when it arrives next week. I really don't want a Nars blush addiction, Mac is expensive enough although with the price increases, they are same price now.

I missed out on the Groupon deal, was going to buy a NARs blush also but I really didn't like the shades they had

Have ya seen this? Surf Babe Collection

http://allglam.com/2011/02/25/mac-surf-babe-collection-swatches-may-2011/

It's really annoying that Allglam put "swatches" in every post title, yet there are no swatches at all! But I do love the look of the blush and I quite like the packaging too.

By the way, is there anything coming out next month? Are we getting Quite Cute in April or May?

I walked past the Mac counter in Kingston today and they had almost everything still in stock from WW and Jeanius. Tested Pink Cult again, but concluded that I don't like it. I do like Stovepipe Black though, it's a nice silvery dark grey, not chalky at all. Overdyed is gorgeous, although I haven't used it on my face yet, just swatched it on my hand.

April

i need to cut my quite cute list. it is my hubby's brithday next month so i should really spend more money on him than myself right?! and i want to buy him a super awesome pc moniter which i think will set me back a little bit! and then i shall buy a big version of the candle that he loves (i bought one at xmas and he's used it up already!) and perhaps some computer games. it is hard to buy stuff for him because he is happy with stuff he already has and never wants more! the complete opposite to me really!

Yes, mine is like that too, the only thing he's into is cars, but he only likes reading about them and watching Top Gear and Formula One, so not a big variety really. He hardly ever buys anything for himself either. Me on the other hand, I buy a lot of make up for starters, I love my costume jewellery, scarves, and buy loads of stuff for the children too.

maybe guys are just happier with less stuff! for me i like to buy make up, books, blu rays and shoes! and then i buy lots of toys and cute collars for the kitties!
 

I HATE the surf baby packaging. Probably a good thing - I needed to skip that one anyway haha.

i am getting so frustrated with mac not releasing info early. do they not know i need to make my lists?!

How very inconsiderate of them, Lou!

I have no idea what I want from Quite Cute, other than all 3 blushes and possibly the quad, I'll need to see swatches and see the collection in person too as the plushglasses seem to light and not sure about the lipsticks either.

after hearing about the blushers having a white cast i shall only be getting the lavender. i did want the green heart one but it is only good as a highlighter so that is money saved! and yes the plushglass are a little sheer. but i do like the one i have! i shall get the quad for sure and the one blush and two lippies. i need candy yum yum in my life!
 

I finally got the cash back on my card from Debenhams today for the Canceled Pink Cult blush, seriously Debs that is not on. Anyhoo, I have £30 extra this month (thank you Thunderball) plus the refunded cash from Pink Cult, so thats my goodies from Quite Cute paid for. I'm waiting for more swatches to come out before I decide to cut any.....So far all three are still on the list.

The censorship is getting Ridiculous.......Mac are really turning customers away. This time last year I was spending £60+ a month on Mac. This year all I have spent £11.......................

I totally agree that it sucks, but on the other hand I assume they must be doing it for a reason. I'm sure they lose a lot of business via counterfeit products, and one way of keeping a step ahead of the counterfeiters is to protect any new product development from being seen until close to launch. Yes it makes it harder for people like us who look forward to every new collection, but we probably don't represent the bulk of MAC's customers and unfortunately they have to protect their bottom line. (Sorry, just playing devil's advocate here!)

oh no you totally bring up good points! it is just annoying to me! but ignore me because i am being a whiney brat!
 

Lol, Lou, you crack me up :)

My real name is just Elena and your pronounce it Ye-lye-na :) But all my friends prounounce it as "Elaina".  And Eleentje is just a derivative for my name in Dutch. It's the same kind of idea as Anitacska in Hungarian.

My uber excitement with Mac has decreased a lot straight after peacocky. Other brands started getting my attention with their hot new releases (yes, I'm talking to you, MUFE, Chanel & Dior), since I no longer spend all my time on Mac collections threads.

I didn't even spend much time at Mac counter at Gatwick duty free yesterday. I've checked out Sheen supreme lipsticks, but they are too creamy and runny for my liking. When I swatched a few on the back of my hand, quite a lot of the lipstick came off :S And they were a bit sticky? I wonder if it was just too warm there or what.

oh well your real name is lovely! and i had a friend called Elaina and she was from estonia.  Perhaps that was just a name she gave to people so that we had no issues pronouncing her real name?! 

and yes MUFE is an amazing brand! so you are spending your money well when you buy their products! Dior i used to be into however i haven't bought any of those products in a long while! and Chanel is a brand that i want to get into but sadly i don't think i am rich enough! lol!
 

^I feel quite robbed when I pay £40 at Mac and get 2 or 3 products, goodness knows how beat up I'd feel paying that for one product. I keep telling myself one of these days I will buy a YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick........ a year lusting and still no lippie.

I always buy the high end stuff either in the Clearance Bin, on ebay, at duty free shops or when local shops have special discounts, cos I would also feel bad spending so much on just one item.

I also only buy stuff I really really want, like the stuff that gets a lot of good reviews or stuff that I keep playing with, when I'm at duty free.
